    does renaming or adding title of my YouTube music videos impact quality? I keep thinking it there is quality loss? I know it’s very easy but I’m trying rename and still preserve quality? Sometimes when I name title of video and save/export in FCP I add dashes or parenthesis to the title and when click to upload one of my videos on YouTube the dash is missing – or parenthesis ( ) is there a way to fix this problem?<div>

    Titles cause zero image quality loss, period. Unless it’s a title template that has some effect built-in to effect the video under it in some special effect way.

    H.264 will give you the best you’ll get out of YT, exporting as ProRes doesn’t do anything to improve anything.

    As for special characters in video titles, YT does not support them. I have to reformat titles that have hyphens and such on a daily basis when I’m uploading to YT.
